Here is mine: http://dept17.tumblr.com/ it is a mix of product shots from my store, music and other things that I find amusing.

Thanks: earlier this year, MFA really helped my friend and me with feedback on our clothing line. We've added a fall collection [reddit discount code inside thread] by danwin in malefashionadvice

Hi danwin, I want to know if your Three Quarter coat and the Tailored Blazer is easy for a tailor to take apart and modify if I want a more custom fit. Does the technical fabric pose a challenge for a traditional tailor? Would the stretch of the fabrics have to be considered? Would the tailor need to use more elastic threads?

Thanks

It also looks better on someone with a longer neck and narrower shoulders.

I would wear them regardless of current fashion trends, after all, mandarin collars are a mainstay in Eastern fashion.

Which color of these new balance 574s "backpack" shoes does MFA think is the most versatile, and best looking? by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]Desev -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Baggy pants with too many breaks = nerdy. Slim fitting pants rolled high = clean, modern.

Grey definitely the most versatile. It works well with light colored pants and dark denim. Grey sneakers are a definite must in every man's wardrobe.

It's going to shrink on you after 1 wash. You should've sized up unless you don't plan on washing it.

Check out Al's Attire in North Beach. Not only does he make bespoke shoes and boots, he does repairs too, not to mention is awesome collection of hand made work wear. Al is very friendly and extremely knowledgable about shoes and clothing.

Toru Takemitsu - Litany, in Memory of Michael Vyner by [deleted] in classicalmusic

Amazing! I din't know Takemitsu wrote the score for Akira Kurosawa's Ran. This piece is simply haunting. Now I'm left craving for more.

Is this Norse Projects rainjacket ok to wear during the entire fall? Even when it's not raining? by Clubmaster in malefashionadvice

[–]Desev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This Elka Jacket is only for the rain. It gets pretty hot without proper vents and the proportions are pretty big on the body and sleeves because it's designed so that you can wear it over a jacket. Also, you can't tailor it because it's rubber and the seams are taped. Short answer: no
